Concert - Concert

This family-friendly show combines theatre and classical music to depict an encounter between Edgar Alan Poe and Debussy, between the famous short story The Fall of the House of Usher and the Preludes. Hélène Tysman and Damien Luce interpret the two works, embodying the disturbing characters who are residents of the House of Usher. Debussy’s music, a great admirer of Poe, sonically mirrors the strange dwelling. The interlacing of between the Preludes and House of Usher uncovers the darker and more somber side of Debussy. A game of magical lanterns contributes to the poetry of the performance.
